Staff Reports
After the recent disturbing incident where a crazed individual attempted to harm a former president, it’s no surprise that questions are swirling around. The glaring inquiry on everyone’s mind is simple: “Who screwed up?” And as investigations unfold, the scrutiny inevitably falls upon the Secret Service and the Biden administration.
It’s been revealed that during events in New York, President Trump receives a level of protection akin to President Biden, thanks to the diligent efforts of the NYPD. However, the fact that the perpetrator, Thomas Matthew Crooks, was able to get within rifle range of Trump and open fire before being swiftly neutralized raises serious concerns about the Secret Service’s preparedness and response.
House Speaker Mike Johnson rightfully emphasized the importance of uncovering the truth behind any security oversights that may have paved the way for this assassination attempt. The public demands answers, especially regarding how the shooter managed to approach so dangerously close to the former president without raising suspicions earlier.
Former Assistant FBI Director Chris Swecker bluntly labeled the incident as a “security breakdown,” shedding light on the glaring lapses that occurred. Some are beginning to question whether the Biden administration’s focus on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) within the Secret Service may have inadvertently compromised the quality of agents tasked with protecting high-profile figures like President Trump.
DEI leads to deaths and injuries!

The presence of female Secret Service agents in Trump’s security detail has also sparked discussions, particularly regarding their physical capabilities in high-pressure situations. Director Cheatle’s push for greater female representation in the Service raises valid concerns about prioritizing diversity over competence in such critical roles.
As the investigation progresses, tough questions will undoubtedly be posed to Director Cheatle and the Secret Service leadership. Criticisms of tactical failures and hiring decisions under the Biden administration will need to be addressed thoroughly to prevent any future security breaches of this magnitude. The American people rightfully expect accountability and reassurance that such oversights won’t be repeated, considering the gravity of the potential consequences in protecting national leaders.
